I have been unable to compile ethereal 0.10.8 on Solaris because of an unresolved dependency problem. I eventually tracked the problem to a missing dependency on epan/dissectors/libdissectors.la at link time.

The executable images shouldn't be linked with libdissectors.la; libethereal.la should be - there should be a line in epan/Makefile adding dissectors/libdissectors.la to libethereal_la_LIBADD and to libethereal_la_DEPENDENCIES.

Could you send us the complete output for an attempt to make Ethereal from the source tarball on Solaris?
